Why Safety Belts Work - GMC 1994 Yukon Owner's Manual

In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts.
Here's why: They work.
You never know if you'll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don't
know if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even
buckled up a person wouldn't survive. But most crashes are in between. In
many of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk away.
Without belts they could have been badly hurt or killed.
After more than
25
years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In
most crashes buckling up dOes matter
..;
a lot!
Why Safety Belts Work

For example, if the
bike is going 10 mph
(16
km/h),
so is the
child.
